Aggressive Action Against Rebel Insurgency in Quence Sector

A recon line of Gladiator II-class star destroyers, led by the GSD Veermok

SUARBI SYSTEM - The Imperial Navy operating in the Quence sector has taken the naval fight to the rebel insurgency, hunting rebel frigates deep in the Outer Rim. Acting aggressively, a recon line of Gladiator II-class star destroyers, led by the GSD Veermok destroyed a corvette, a number of rebel fighter squadrons, and pushed the rebel frigates to retreat.

In two separate engagements in the Suarbi system, towards the end of the Five Veils Route in the Quence sector, the Imperial Navy proved victorious in driving the Rebels from this far-flung system. Many Rebel fighter squadrons died in attempts to shield the frigates from attack, and an insurgent corvette was also destroyed.

Suarbi and Reuss systems

Recon lines generally contain two to four ships, operating in pairs or individually. Reconnaissance ships are usually light cruisers modified for even greater sublight speed. Their mission is to probe enemy-held territory.

The recon line led by the GSD Veermok was tasked to root our the insurgent presence in the Suarbi system. Having driven the rebels from the system, Imperial Intelligence believes the rebel fleet to be bottled up the neighboring Svivren system of the Svivreni sector.

In a separate engagement in the Reuss system, a Victory-class star destroyers turned its turbolasers on a different recon line. The Recon line has been engaged in a similar mission along the Llanic Spice Run. The unprovoked attack is suspected to be the work of a rebel mutiny aboard the vessel in question.

Questions would have been asked, had the star destroyer in question survived. A separate Gladiator-class star destroyer accompanied the destroyed vessel, but was able to escape destruction. The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) shall investigate how such Imperial Navy craft could be turned on their own.
